well first thing that comes to mind when you say "eating mushrooms" is that you may have been sold a camelback shrimp(coral munchers) which look somewhat similar to an untrained eye. some lfs may unknowingly sell them as peppermints.
another thought is that it is simply doing its job and cleaning the rock the coral is on.
very rarely will you find a peppermint eating coral. rare but i know only one person who was addement on the pepprmint eating his zoas.
ps. the peppermint will only eat the aiptaisia when it is really hungry. this means if it is getting enough food during feeding time then it may not have the appetite for aiptaisa
